I agree with @mog; that;s what I would be trying to do.

Firstly, have you actually tested the solenoid and confirmed that it is defective? If so, you could contact Zupps and have them tell you the part number. When you have the part number you can search the web and see if you can get it any cheaper.

Not that it is really relative in this case, but for a Fuso Canter you are limited to a very meager weight limit over the front axle. Yes, it would be nice to have a bit more weight up front, but if you don't watch out you can easily make your truck illegal.

Yep. :)

Is the manual throttle completely off. If not, it will stop the exhaust brake from functioning.

If I put a rule on the screen, my guesstimate would be that a 14 foot box (the dark brown rectangle in your mock up image) would probably be just within that 60%, as long as you had nothing else behind it.

Not that it really relates to you, as the vehicle rules in the US/Canada are very different to those in Australia, but here we has what is referred to as the 60% rule. That rule states that the maximum overhang can be no more that 60% of the wheelbase behind the center line of the rear axle...

What codes came back after you cleared them?

Brilliant. :)

I am not sure what brings you to that conclusion, but here in Australia there are many people using these Fuso 4x4 trucks, some in very extreme conditions. Personally, I am not a fan of the current model, with the 3.0L engine, but all previous FG models have proven themselves to be pretty much...

So... have you considered adding a hydraulic lift system for the cab? BTW, that cab looks like it is in very nice condition.

They are all detailed in the workshop manual. As I wrote on another post only yesterday, the first thing I would be checking is all of your earth connections, as most of those error codes are sensor related. Your truck may not have many miles on it, but it is still old. Corrosion happens over...

I am assuming that the above are the flash code errors, right? Most of those are sensor related codes, so the first thing I would be checking is the main ground connection points, as that is a known problematic area in these trucks. Do you have a workshop manual for your truck?

What error codes are you getting?

I just hope that you measured correctly, as a metric PCD is normally an exact multiplication of an imperial size. Why I don't know, but that's usually the way it is. As an example... my Fuso has a 6 stud, 222.25mm PCD, which equates exactly to 8.75" I would agree with Mog that your PCD is more...

Looks like you have been having fun... As far as I know, for singles to be legal here in Oz they have to be a DOT rated/certified rim. That is not a process you would want to pay for as an individual. Different countries... different rules! :) How close did you get the front and rear track...

Good luck with your new build.

This post is not the place to do that.

Personally, I am not a big fan of polyurethane as a core material for composite panels, as it is not normally considered to be a structural foam. Wet on wet lay ups are usually heavier too, because the resin to glass ration is often higher. In my opinion, there are better composite flat panel...

Most commercially available RV type doors are made for "standard" sized panel fitment, so it may be a challenge to find something "off the shelf" for a 50mm panel. Have you investigated how they make the coolroom doors? You may be able to get something that is close to what you want and then...
